Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Minimum-security prisons are also referred to as "open institutions" because they typically have the least restrictive measures in place. Inmates are often transferred to these facilities as they near their release date or after demonstrating good behavior elsewhere.

Answer: D
 Medium-security facilities are the most common type of prison in the United States. They have more security measures in place than minimum-security prisons but inmates still have some freedom of movement. Inmates may be transferred to medium-security prisons after demonstrating good behavior at a lower-security facility.

Answer: C
 High/close-security prisons are designed to house violent or dangerous criminals. Inmates at these facilities are closely monitored and have limited freedom of movement. They may be transferred to high security facilities if they pose a threat to themselves or other prisoners, or if they have a history of violent behavior.

Answer: B
 Maximum-security prisons are designed to hold the most dangerous criminals. Inmates at these facilities are closely monitored and have limited freedom of movement. They may be transferred to maximum-security prisons if they pose a threat to themselves or others, or if they have a history of violent behavior.

Answer: A
 Supermaximum-security prisons, also known as "supermax" facilities, are the most restrictive type of prison. Inmates at these facilities are typically confined to their cells for 23 hours per day and have very limited contact with other inmates or staff. These facilities are reserved for the most dangerous criminals, and inmates are rarely transferred to them unless they have a history of violent behavior in other prisons.
